best rad and resvoir pump combo? Ideas and preferences?

[Rapier-Home]

Im looking to put a rad in my comp. either a 240 or 280 rad. thickness isnt really an issue as im modding the nutz out of my case. same thing goes for a pump and resavoir combo.

If anybody has any preferences. put a link and dimensions as ill be doing the work in the next couple of days.

I would say XSPC. They have reservoirs that come with an aluminium cover so you don't need to stealth it. Also they have a fairly solid range of radiators.

Pump - really good pump. Many companies make different tops for it so you can use it as you see fit. pretty much the best price around as well.

Bay Res - If you are looking for a bay res or....

Internal Res - If you are looking for something internal.

almost forgot

Radiator - From what I have read these are pretty nice. Phobya makes some that are similar in the 240 and 280 sizes. I personally like this style for the available mounting options.

The choice is yours

You might want to consider the XSPC watercooling bundle.

Im modding the top of my antec three hundred case. Im going to be putting the rad on the top and cutting an additional hole to accomodate another 140 or 120 fan. i hvnt decided yet which im gonna use yet. and then i was planning on mounting the the pump/resvoir next to it on the top so that its one large shroud/accent piece. im making the shroud myself. as well as a couple of other accent pieces. The case itself is gonna be a metallic to a matte black finish with blue leds fans. ill post some pics of what ive already done to it here later today or tomarrow.

Are you just cooling CPU? And which one would that be? If CPU only and not planning to upgrade alot, I think the XSPC kit would be nice. If planning on adding to the loop, I'd go with a d5 style pump. ON the rad, they are all made basically by the same company. But if you want straight performance get a rad with high Fins per Inch (this will require louder harder pushing fans). If you want a balance, get a thick rx style xspc rad or equivalent with lower speed , less noise fans. And I spent the extra on a fan controller, totally worth it, when browsing the web I can turn my jet engine silent. When gaming, I light her up since my headphones are awesome anyways.
